You can always have choice you know . Now as your ON board Sound card is not working with windows 7 you can buy a Sound card for replacement like of creative and other companies... they would be the best choice at low cost and windows 7 compatible... But before buying it please try updating your driver.

try to check ur cd driver(written there is that cd is working on windows vista). ur mboard is high-end and most of the driver is compatible to windows vista or higher operating system. you can actually download the driver thru the internet and make sure that the said driver is window xp compatible.

at device manager I right click multimedia audio controller. the one with a question mark. a dialog box appeared. I selected update driver. then vista ask me: how do you want to search for driver software? I choose browse my computer. Then vista gave me two options. I chose let me pick from a list of device drivers from my computer. A dropdown appeared with a list. I browse through the dropdown. The first time I chose intel because the chipset is from intel. On the right column I chose intel (r) ac '97. It did not work.

I tried to run my support cd. Again, vista said something like compatibility issue.

Then from the drop down soundmax integrated digital audio appeared, i highligted it and click next then just follow the prompt.

I will give you a
alternate and easy way for your problem.Just download this software
named driver magician and install it.It will search for the drivers for all your hardwares and components that doesnt have proper drivers and will download it.It will make your problem easy

Try the Microsoft UAA drivers install them first then go to device drivers and right click sound driver and update driver will go on net to find driver (it should find it) and then install itThe M/soft UAA driver unless installed first cause a lot of trouble with normal sound drivers

Please click here to download the drivers for your audio chipset. You may note that Vista is not listed but the driver version for Windows XP works in Vista, there was a problem with the installer cd on Vista but apparently manually running the installer for the audio card, from the cd works fine.
